i really admire john because he suffered for our country. and i hang around these guys because i feel young and smart, but the truth of the matter is john has been a war hero in the true sense of the word, but during the iraq war, we were one vote away from setting a deadline to withdraw, and joe was the only democrat who would cross over. so when you talk about bipartisanship, i think you really are trying to talk about courage. joe has the courage of his convictions. it drove him out of his own party. and i don't think there's much of that going on any time in american history, particularly now, so so without 9/11, without the iraq war, without afghanistan, without the challenges we face, we'd just be three friends and we've become a force to lead because other people will. >> he supported me in 2008 and yet when the democrats in majority, they still made him the chairman of one of the most important committees in the entire senate, the homeland security committee. i've never seen quite that level of respect. by the way, one of the things

warren buffett, vanguard founder john bogle, and financier george soros were among the famous names to call for a tougher estate tax. their proposal would exempt couples with up to $4 million in assets from the estate tax. above that level, estates would pay a 45% tax rate, rising to 50% or more on very large estates. supporters say that would both bring in badly needed revenue and help protect our democracy. >> it works to reduce concentrations of economic and political power across generations, and those concentrations are antithetical to the basic premise, if you will, of the founding of our republic, which was that it was a land of opportunity. and i think that those concentrations also can play a significant role, concentrations of economic and political power across generations, in distorting the functioning of our democratic political system. >> reporter: but raising the estate tax is unpopular even among many democrats who worry it will hit farmers and small businesses. and tax analysts say the estate tax is just too complicated to tackle in the fiscal cliff negotiations. >> if
